human, animal or other item to some place to another place. This
planning is related to the operation of the highway system,
geometry, andoperation of trafficfacilities
PLANNING PROCESS
• Studied/Research stage
research and analysis that shows the
current demand and the relationship of
movement with the and environmental demands
• Forecast stage
formulating the plan, predict future travel
demand and make a recommendation to fulfill MONITORING AND
traffic demand.
REVIEW
• The evaluation stage
to assess whether the proposals
made satisfactory demand and provide maximum
benefit to the community
IMPLEMENTATION
Transportation Planning process
• Situation definition
• Problemdefinition
• Searchfor solution
• Analysis of performance
• Evaluation of alternative
• Choice of project
• Specification andconstruction
1. Situation definition Involve all of the activities required to understand the
situation that gave rise to the perceived need for a
transportation improvement.
Information about surrounding area, its people andtheir
travel habits may be obtained.
7. Specification and Once the transportation project has been selected, the
construction project move into the detailed design phase which each
of the components of thefacilities is specified
Inventory transportation facilities
Situation definition
Measure travel pattern
Review prior studies
Problem definition
Define objective
~Reduce travel time
Assessment
• contains the testing and evaluation of the alternativesselected
before.
• emphasis on the ability of the traffic and environmental impact of
each alternative strategy
• to choose and determine the best transportation system for future
needs
Travel Demand Model
Is the process of determining the number of trips that
will begin or end in each traffic analysis zone within a
study area.
TRIP Todevelop a relationship between trip end production
or attraction and land use.
GENERATION To use the relationship to estimate the number of trips
generated at some future date under a new set of land
use condition.
• The need of parking spaces is usually very great in the areas where land
uses including business, residential and commercial activities
• Providing adequate parking space to meetthe demand for parking in
central parking district may affect the level ofservice.
Application of parkingdata
• Toget the valid information (before andlatest)

• Toprovide information needed to enablethe implementation of
payment by the parties involved.
General policy of transportation
planning
• socialaspects
improve the social aspects as can be done safelyand
comfortably
• economicaspects
with the existence variety of travel pattern, activities
such as employment, population and household income
will beincrease.
• physicalaspects
create an efficient transportation system becausethere
are various modes of transportationintroduced
• in an effort to reduce traffic congestion in urban
areas, the following elements have been introduced
capacity
• widening access, traffic lights, sidewalks, traffic lights, parking(cars,
motorcycles, bicycles)
priority
• priority to bus routes, truck, space is limited(pedestrian), parking
restraint
• access control, incentives to use public transport, car sharing, land-
use policy.
